Facebook is inherently different because of the broadcast style of updates rather than targeted messaging. I don't think the intent of usage matters as much of the intent of the system. Facebook statuses are designed to be fairly public.

> The purpose is to get the truth of the dispute, not prevent liability for people acting badly. Your purpose for not having courts see evidence of wrongdoing is so that what, things are better for the wrongdoers? If your argument is feasibility or removing the recording element at all, I'd understand, but the thing is already recorded.

The purpose of not recording everything is to allow businesses (read: the people within them) to function efficiently without having to worry that anything and everything they say could be dragged into the record on a lawsuit. Also to encourage people to put problems on the record, paradoxically.

I work remotely, meaning face-to-face conversations are out of the question. I'm rapidly running out of ways to communicate that aren't on the record, which poses a communication problem for the business and inhibits dealing with problems that could lead to a lawsuit.

In a world where chats aren't part of the eternal record, I can pop in and say "hey, such and such feature seems like it has a security/privacy risk, we should take a look at that". The communication is valuable, and the business is now aware of the problem.

In a world with eternal chat records, nobody wants me to point that out unless we are ready to deal with it immediately. If I point it out, the business schedules it to be handled in a quarter or two, and they get hacked in the meantime then my chat message is on the record as evidence that the business was aware of the problem and "did nothing". Everyone would prefer that I had said nothing, because the business' liability is diminished if they can say they were unaware of the problem.

The underlying reality here is that business do not want their problems on public record, and will encourage their employees to communicate using non-recorded means or, failing that, to not communicate at all. It would be legally preferable to ship a product full of issues the business is unaware of than to ship a product with a single issue that the business is on record knowing about.

Requiring recording of all communications just encourages the business to not communicate internally, leading to the exact same problems recording was supposed to prevent.

Our legal system does not reward recording communications in the least, it actively penalizes doing so. We're trying to strong arm businesses into doing something against their own best interests, and I'm doubtful that's a productive line of action.
My partner has been searching for an SDE job for 8 months and recently received an email requesting her to do a recruiter screen. She responded and got a call instantly where the “recruiter was a text-to-speech AI.

Presumably the entire process was automated; I’m assuming if they’re using text-to-speech, the selection and initial email was all AI.

It’s an arms race on both sides.

Show HN: Hacker News over SSH – Browse HN Articles Directly from Your Terminal
Hello HN! I'm excited to showcase my latest project: "Hacker News Over SSH". Inspired by terminal.shop recently featured here, I've created a tool that lets you interact with Hacker News through a terminal interface.

*What it does:*
Hacker News Over SSH allows users to browse HN content directly from their terminal. It is not feature complete yet. As of now, it allows browsing top stories and top level comments of every story. Formatting can be a little off too at some places.

*Why I built it:*
The recent project `terminal.shop`, featured here on HN, sparked my fascination with terminal-based applications accessible via SSH. It demonstrated the potential of creating interactive, user-friendly environments within the terminal. Curious about how such applications were engineered, especially since the source code for `terminal.shop` was not available, I delved into the world of custom SSH servers. This exploration led me to build this project and hope it will inspire many more SSH based apps.

*Demo:*
Just open your terminal and run:
ssh hn.parishod.com

*Source Code:*
Feel free to report issues, and contribute:

I first read about scientists making progress on regrowing teeth about 20 years ago. At the time, I thought this would be a future I saw and crowns would not be something I’d have to deal with. 20 years later, I no longer expect this to be something I experience in my lifetime.
This doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the parents. Did you post this to the wrong parent? To accomplish what you are asking, a project needs actual good documentation. Everyone has agreed that is good. The only real disagreement here is whether Ansible docs have this, and regardless whether they do, they definitely have the example-driven docs that I think you are saying you don't think should exist, so you definitely aren't supporting the Ansible status quo.
In general this exists in order to detect features of the target compiler, libraries, platform and etc. A lot of languages can get away with making assumptions, due to either having only one implementation/compiler, supporting very few platforms/architectures or being otherwise insensitive to the environment.
It's always weird when some tech nerds think they have some magic wand which avoids legal controls. A judge would just smack you down hard if this ever came to court, and your argument of well I special exception here due to technical barriers will just end up with you getting an adverse judgement or contempt charge depending on how flagrant it and if you had prior legal orders to the contrary.
You’re mixing two different scam concepts.

None of this is a problem with a debit card that’s debited to a bank account on real time.
And CAD models benefit from better technology "for free", better visualization, better heuristics (for rule/code/safety/conformance checking), and so on.

Did it make sense for military nuclear submarines back then? Well, maybe not, who knows. (Submarines are definitely not mass produced.)

But what this 'insightful essay' ignores is that productivity decreased overall in the 'West' (as the post-WWII boom ended) but then picked up right around the dot-fucking-com boom. Oh, wait computers. But maybe this glorified shitpost should have used recent datasets instead of spending its eruditeness budget on extra spicy and fancy words. (propitiate!)

> Seeing other religions as equal to yours - how many folks do you know that actually have that?

I’m not sure what country you’re from, but in my current city there are large successful populations of Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Christians, and Buddhists.

If you grow up not exposed to that, I can see how travel might help for people with an open mind. But let me assure you, a very annoyingly large percentage of the population (something like 20%) thinks everyone not in their religion is a lesser human.
All I'm seeing is two opposing assertions, neither of which provides a citation. Why should I trust you over OP?

I once took a hard look at our user surveys. As a software engineer I’m not really expected to care. All our happiest customers talked about the service experience. All our grumpiest customers talk about the service experience.

None of our users gave two shits about the software. All they cared about was did we solve their problem on that day when they needed us.

That’s when I realized we’re a software-enabled service company. It changed how I prioritize things.
Yes, my point exactly, I lacked the requisite vocabulary to express it more concisely
The problem is that a list of languages has no alphabetical order because different languages use different scripts and there is no standard order of scripts (yes there is Unicode, no relying on your users knowing the order of scripts in Unicode is not good UI design). So there is no way to order a list of languages so that someone can binary search them like they would a dictionary.

Which comes first: Ελληνικά, العربية, Русский, or 日本語?

Flags assist by giving a second piece of information that can be used to identify the right language easier. They still perform this function even if the wrong flag is used. You can scan a list of flags with names faster than you can scan a list of weird unfamiliar language names.

These resources can give you ideas and advice, but what really counts is taking action and giving things a try. It's all about getting your hands dirty and seeing what works. So make your move and start building your micro SaaS product today.
It is hard to parse sarcasm in a world where opinions are much broader and varied than they used to be and signalling has become more pronounced and infused into life.

You genuinely do get bloggers recommending ensuring you take a reusable bottle on a plane trip, that people take shorter showers, and don't leave the water running when brushing their teeth.

It is reasonable to do all those things, but they are pretty small.

Are these 3 sarcasm or real?

- Wash your dishes in a bowl instead of a larger sink.

- Fill your watering can waiting for the water to heat up

- Put buckets in your shower.

Answer. All real.

>Everyone working with REBCO has always talked about "rapid breakthroughs" in about 5 years, and then 5 years later the story is always the same: it's considerably harder to build with these things then you'd think, they're still working through the engineering etc.

Please cite the earliest REBCO-based fusion reactor promise date that has lapsed. I don't think reality agrees with your perception.

Importantly you can draw a straight line from REBCO-based fund raising and the amount of REBCO needed to be purchased for them. If "the engineering wasn't there" then that amount of money could not have purchased that amount of tape.

Also, how could ITER be the right bet when it costs so much and takes so long to build that it could never scale to anything more than a multi-generational science experiment (e.g. not a power source)?

My Home Server Journey – From Raspberry Pi to Ryzen
It's possible to just do "English" but sites are typically going to either do British English or US English. Not putting the British flag to avoid offense is just hiding the fact that you're localizing to British English to try and avoid offense. (Which doesn't actually seem better to me.) Unless you actually do separately localize to Irish English. But also why not just provide the same text under two flags?

Also, on the other hand, China may get very cross with you if you refer to Taiwanese Chinese at all. How you refer to a language is inherently political, and hiding the flag changes the political statement you're making, but it doesn't eliminate it, nor does making a consistent decision like "no flag" mean you're going to consistently side with oppressor or oppressed.

This is all "types of PCness" and I don't say that to dismiss it or say that I would never do something for the sake of PCness, but mostly to say that throwing out flags seems like a cop-out and not addressing the problems on a case-by-case basis.

The bigger problems are probably countries with indigenous native languages that only exist in that country but are also a minority... many Latin American countries where you might put Spanish with that country's flag but there is Nahuatl or Quechua or whatever. But on the other hand realistically you are only localizing to Spanish, so again, you're just trying to pretend like you've made a neutral political choice by hiding the flag.
Ah, that’s unfortunate.
Your visualization helped me understand this! If the center of the distribution is far from P, then all the lines from P to the points in your cluster are basically parallel, and you just shift your point cluster which doesn’t help your estimate. But if P is close to the mean, then it sits near the middle of your cluster, so pulling all points towards P is “shrinking” the cluster more than “shifting” it.

I just had an Amazon package stolen from my porch with $500 of items in it that I needed quickly. I reordered everything for delivery next day, and started a chat in the app. The only thing they wanted to know was if I wanted the refund on my credit card or as a gift balance. (I’ve been an Amazon customer since 1997, so that might factor in.)

But on the other hand, the quality of the actual product catalog is now abysmal. Way too many clones of Ali Express items with literally random brand names and scam listings. I still sort of trust “Sold by Amazon” listings, but they’re making it harder to filter on that. So in this area the accounting department is clearly outranking the customer experience department.
No one's saying it makes it less useful for that.
You’re not supposed to swallow it. It builds up in the body (in teeth mainly?)
In my org at Google, if you were under a legal hold, you were told to turn off retention for all conversations.

It was framed as "saving work for people who have to review conversations" (lol)

My org wasn't well-managed, lot of nepotism, promoting people who couldn't organize to save their life, but were good company men, too good. They saw having to have history off as a status badge because they saw higher ups did.

They even would independently escalate it from there. Towards the end of my tenure, a couple of them acted like it was obvious and mandatory not to name people in meeting notes. Such a strange place.
My brother is in a similar situation, though younger, and it's especially weird in our family because my dad grew a full extra tooth near the front for no apparent reason, and his brother regrew all four wisdom teeth after having them extracted, so you'd think my brother would err on the side of too many teeth, not too few!

(We're a bit screwy in general, though. My dad has an extra vertebra, besides the extra tooth, and I managed not to get enough vertebrae, but I have 1.5 extra ribs.)
I am so far removed from this now that it feels foreign to me.

In my house we must have a good attitude or be silent. It's fine to be angry or sad, just no crying or whining. Every request for a hug must be met with a hug.

I expect the emotional exercise to help workout the management of emotions and adjusting of attitude.

I'll stick with caddy. It's worked for me for years.
This is something Apple does amazingly well. The first touch point on a new Apple product is the box, and they use high end, thick cardboard that’s got a great finish. When you go to open the box, the interface between the bottom and top halves is so perfectly fitted that there’s a weightiness to removing the lid, like it has a seal. It probably costs barely anything to make the box better like that, but every time I buy an Apple product I notice it, and I feel like they care about the small things.

I used to be anti-Apple. I used Android or Windows Phone and used Windows or Linux on PC. I thought the extra cost of Apple was a scam. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate a company that doesn’t BS me and waste my time.

Windows has ads and malware built into the OS. They charge you for OS upgrades. macOS is just free and ad-free.

The laptop hardware doesn’t cut corners. Yes, it’s expensive, but everyone knows of its quality. in 5 years it still has value. Try and sell a 5 year old windows laptop.

This extends to all their other products and services. I pay more to not be the product, and to have privacy. I’ll make that deal all day.
I don’t understand the picture with the shaded circle. Sure the area to the left is smaller, but it also is more likely to be chosen because in a Gaussian values closer to the mean are more likely. So the picture alone doesn’t prove anything.
Those few architectural licenses are secret, but surely, as you say, allows Apple to discuss all sorts of things with ARM’s engineers. I have long wondered what constraints it might carry. They have added an instruction or two, but I doubt there is any real reason for them to ever want to make significant instruction set changes.

Apple has a longstanding relationship with ARM back to the latter’s founding. The sale of its large chunk of ownership in ARM helped Apple survive in its late-90s reboot. So it’s quite possible that their license is quite different from those of the few other hardware licensees.

Also, Apple plays the long game. I’m sure they also have a lot of RISC-V experience by now. Not just weirdo in-house research products; I’d be shocked if there weren’t tiny RISC-V cores doing small housekeeping tasks inside some of their huge chips, just for the experience. Maybe even a few inside an Apple pencil or maybe an ipad screen digitizer since the computation isn’t really user visible.

As does ARM: if RISC-V ever becomes airborne (it’s still speeding down the runway) I suspect ARM will haul out a stack of patents and start demanding payment. Apple’s license surely covers them here.

This is a pretty elitist viewpoint, and also totally wrong.

It's fully possible to be an excellent software engineer without being able to implement a new language, or deeply understanding how to. It's completely reasonable to be among the best in the world at using a tool, and understanding how the tool works, without being able to create one of those tools.

You might as well ask the same software engineer to design a CPU. Or ask a woodworker to design a lathe.

The best pilot may not be able to design a plane, while still being a better pilot than an aerospace engineer that doesn't know how to fly the planes they design and build.
There is a financial concept known as universal ownership. The gist of it is that most investors are more affected by the overall returns of the market than by the returns of individual stocks. As a result, rational investors should sometimes vote against their individual holdings’ short term interests in favor of the long-term interest of the economy. Limiting antibiotics for livestock is one of these. Not feeding cows chicken would seem to be another obvious one.

Unfortunately, many financial institutions have been slow to pick this up and may soon have an opportunity to learn about the consequences.
I make pumps that are 5 to 10 times expensive than Chinese pumps and 5 to 10 times durable, I sell 1/10 as much as Chinese pumps. This is restricting research in improving pump, instead all research goes in reducing the cost.
Exactly, I think is where it leads to eventually. And that is what I my original comment meant as well. "Delete it" rather than using some more techniques to "unlearn it", unless you claim the unlearning is 100% accurate.
You are correct in that the combined estimator is actually worse at estimating an individual value. Its only better if you specifically care about the combination (which you probably don’t in this contrived example)
